Message grouping and load balance among consumer

[lbonuccelli]

Hi,

Is there a way to have group messages and distribute message to the consumer with a policy different from round robin? 

The scenario is:

I have a lot of producers that create messages (with group) at the same time (an average of 30 producer together).  Some producer create only few message, and other a lot of messages (so I have consumer that consume only few messages and are idle, and other consumer that have to consume many messages). So I’d like to have a way, when a new producer start to create
messages, to send it to the consumer that have less message to consume.

Is there some possibility to achieve this?

currently no. however feel free to raise a JIRA feature request and we will review, altho its unlikely that it would be high on our list at the moment. saying that we are always grateful of contributions from the community.
